I am the original punk rock girl - ok maybe not, but let me have my fantasy - been playing punk guitar since the 2nd generation of American punk and play with a drummer who has been playing since the first generation of American punk...

I am into Ramones, Dead Milkmen, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Descendents, Husker Du, X, Stooges, New York Dolls, Misfits, Sex Pistols, etc.

Can't say the name of my band though - it will get edited by the mods lol

That is pretty awesome. Wish i was around when the good bands were still kicking. Well, I guess in theory some are hanging in there or whatever. Seen a fair amount of Johnny Rotten in the last few years.

The Ramones and The Dead Milkmen are pretty good. Oh, I forgot to put the Pogues on my list. Classic.

Hahaha, band names tend to do that. Yay for suggestive names.

Mmm. Pity. Sid is my 'antihero', of sorts.

Good to know there are other punk listeners running around the site.

[Guest chngnwnd]

The name of my current band is not suggestive - it's offensive...

[Guest Micha]

Sublime count? Not the new formation, the real deal, with Bradly!

[Guest chngnwnd]

I sincerely apologize, but for old punkers - Sublime definitely does not count...

I like their music anyway...just can't tell my mates...they might take that worse than when I eventually tell them I am trans...

[Guest NatashaJade]

I was the younger sibling of a minor player in the original L.A. punk scene. I grew up on X, the Dead Kennedys, Social D, Fear and Black Flag. I still listen to X and DKs with some regularity.

I'll agree with Bobbie that Sublime is not punk. They really belong with the same O.C. scene that produced No Doubt.

For those who have not yet discovered it - set up a Social Distortion or Misfits channel on Slacker Radio - you will be glad that you did...

Hmm, can't think of any ska I like right now. I'm a huge fan of old-school punk though. Though honestly I listen to more post-punk and deathrock than anything.

Punk Bands I Like:

-Crass

-The Subhumans

-True Sounds of Liberty

-Agent Orange

-Dead Kennedys

-Bikini Kill

-M.D.C

-The Smiths

-Rudamentary Peni

-Minor Threat

-Social Distortion

The list goes on and on..

The list goes on and on..

[Guest chngnwnd]

Agent Orange is still touring - I saw them in January - killer show...

Subhumans - nice - the bass player is the man...got himself thrown into maximum security for trying to blow up a nuclear weapons plant back in the 1980's - a true rock and roll rebel...

[Guest chngnwnd]

Check out Killroy - they're pretty good...and all of them are cute (note to the sister of one of the members - you can give any one - or all - of them my email )

hugs

Bobbie

ps definitely check out "Die MF die" and "Old and Bored" by them - great songs

[Guest MemoryAlpha]

I totally love Bad Religion. I used their songs to study for the AP US history test because their music is so relevant to society

[Guest Nikki A]

well,

punk right now: old Against Me! albums mostly

Ska: Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, and Less Than Jake

hugs, Nikki

[Guest Melisiris]

My favourites are Dead Kennedys, Crass, Black flag, TSOL, Misfits and the Subhumans

I am also a huge fan of Christian Death which is deathrock(at least the first album is quite punky, later albums are more goth-rock/new wave)

[Guest Carden]

Ended up hanging out with some of my mom's friends from high school. T'was awkward but I started talking music and everything went swimmingly.

They directed me towards: Stiff Little Fingers and Icons of Filth

Gotta admit, they are pretty good.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Music snob alert!

I don't consider Rancid to be ska.

But yes, I love punk and ska. I'll give you a list of favorite bands..just give me a minute to remember them all.

Punk

Rancid (not ska, imo)

Goldfinger

Ramones

Bouncing Souls

Dropkick Murphys

Flogging Molly

Ska

The Specials

The Toasters

The Scofflaws

Madness

Pork Pie Tribe (a once local celtic ska band that was AMAZING!)

Reel Big Fish

Less Than Jake (ska-punk, if you will)

Skankin' Pickle (RIP)

Save Ferris (RIP)

Back in my younger years (we're talking late 1990s) the Florida ska scene was incredible. I think the ska scene in general was incredible back in like 1996-1999) and since I was in college I had some free time so I went to a bunch of ska and punk shows. I saw some great local talent and some amazing national artists. Moon Ska Records was the ska label to be on and I think I've seen close to half the bands that were on that label. Great stuff! Really miss the scene now though.

..but The Toasters are a band I can listen to and immediately be taken back to those good ol' days.

..and I still love Less Than Jake. I haven't stopped loving them since I first heard them.
